Westcote Village Hall in the Cotswolds will present the 'sheer musical brilliance' of Simon Mayor and Hilary James, on Saturday February 29.

An audience can expect "a witty and captivating mix of folk, swing, blues and classical showstoppers, spiced with Simon Mayor's unique brand of off-beat humour and Hilary's superb voice"

The spokesman added: "There can't be many performers who can slide easily from a beautifully evocative Irish ballad into a mandolin and guitar version of Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba and finish with one of their notoriously comic children's songs!

"Simon is one of the world's leading mandolin virtuosos as well as a fine guitarist and fiddle player.

"He has had his own series on Radio 2 and an album in the Classic FM Top Ten but his most thrilling moment was a journey through the square window on BBC's Playschool!

This performance is supported by Air in G (Arts in Rural Gloucestershire)
